I am, in a different life, a consumer of compost and I have started looking very carefully at the compost products for sale in the bay area.

On the urban consumer side of things I see compost collection bins which cannot possibly be decontaminated of all manner of plastic pieces which will, inevitably, be ground up into the compost product.

On the rural side of things I see miles of plastic baling twine and weedeater string - and other plastic meshes and grid - used throughout pastures year after year and then collected back up again with loads of hay and manure which also end up in the compost stream.

These truckloads of soil/compost/fill have to be significantly contaminated and the rural end users are pouring them right back on their fields.
That is available now in the UK if you use the automatic gates. Soon in the EU stamps will be a thing of the past but you may be able to request one, if you can find a person to do it.

The problem you'll have is that the stamps may not carry the force of law, so not much help in a pinch.
What, exactly, makes it hard to get this to work reliably in the real world? The app already won’t work without a valid login session. The car is already sending a little blob of data to the mothership containing a location. If the communication to the mothership changes to having the mothership send a list of keys and the car encrypt its blob, that’s basically it. The total increase in communication needed is one round trip to revalidate keys.

I realize that modern development has layers and layers of documents and teams and overcomplicated interfaces, but this is the kind of thing that could be done by one developer, using two servers and a load balancer (or a more creative HA scheme with client assistance that can easily survive complete loss of a datacenter or two), that can handle the entire fleet.
> being grounded in mainstream experience again that I lost touch with in the city

I just spent a couple weeks visiting a friend in a (fairly affluent) rural mountain town, and felt this overwhelmingly. Most discussion amongst rural people seems to focus on things that directly affect them and that they can in turn affect. Community projects, social events, improving their schools, local gossip, etc.

In contrast, my city friends spend a lot of time on "bigger" subjects: wars, geopolitical and economic trends, our predictions on technological development... also, a lot of conversation about people's travel plans and that sort of thing. Rich city people always seem to be traveling out of the city, or planning their next travel.

It's not that the rural people are ignorant of the world, rather, I think it's a conscious choice to focus on things in their sphere of influence. It was a really nice reminder for me. If I ask a city friend "how have you been doing?" I'm likely to hear something like "oh, I've just been so stressed about this election" or "I've been worrying about AI taking my job". A rural friend might say something about digging their neighbor's house out after the latest snowstorm, or start talking about the new ski trail that their community just built.
I was out for lunch with some friends. Came back, saw this, and thought "OK obviously some Onion copycat. Why is this being posted to Hacker News?".

Apparently it's true!??
I believe the implied question is: 'what makes Tavi particularly outstanding, or trustworthy, or such when it comes to maintaining a ROM? Which qualifications does this Tavi have?'

If they won't help you navigate such an obvious fraud, report Square to the CFPB (while it still exists).

And keep situations like this in mind every time you hear some libertarian idiot railing against regulations.
Yea, no thanks.

if this really does somehow become the only option, I'd imagine the best you could do is just carry a cheap android phone for this sole purpose.
Maybe so, but Spotify is especially bad at paying artists a fair share even amongst their peers. If Apple and Amazon can afford to pay artists twice as much per stream, and Tidal can afford to pay three times as much per stream, then the problem with Spotify is... Spotify.
I’m having a hard time taking this comment seriously, since solving novel problems is precisely what LLMs are valuable for. Sure, most problems are in some way similar in pattern to some other, known one, but that describes 99.9 percent of what 99.9 percent of people do. De novo conceptual synthesis is vanishingly rare and I’m not even sure it exists at all.
None of it is required, at least on the ocean in Washington.

When you cross the border on the water, you aren't required to report until you go to land (if you never set foot in Canada, but only sail through territorial waters, there is no requirement to report), at which point you must go to a specified customs dock, and present your paperwork.
Can confirm. Made a bit of a leftfield suggestion for an issue that there were no truly good solutions proposed for. I was tasked with building and deploying it. It's in production and working well so far (service which is 90% of our egress bandwidth). Got some really nice feedback from the director of technology at the Christmas social event.

I can't imagine that it's hurt my job security, and it's been far more interesting than waiting for someone to find me busywork to do.

If I ask my TI-89 to "Summarize the plot in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" it responds "ERR"! :D

LLMs are good text processors, pocket calculators are good number processors. Both have limitations, and neither are good at problem sets that are outside of their design strengths. The biggest problem with LLMs aren't that they are bad at a lot of things, it's that they look like they are good at things they aren't good at.
Agreed, but it's still some kind of Youtube garbage. The funk beat kicking in at the 90 second mark is a big turn off, not so much because of how weird a juxtaposition it is, but because its inclusion smacks of free stock music.
> Expecting always on satellite connections in a lot of these places is asking for a lot.

It might be easier than having reliable power grids or running water supply. Assuming at least some of the satellite-internet projects work out (Starlink, Amazon's thing, Chinese thing, European thing, ...) all you need might be a fairly affordable (comparing to infrastructure for running water) hardware that can run on demand using batteries.
that's only true in the US though. most other countries have better renter protection. my point was that it's not just renting that forces you to move. you moved yourself because of a job. if you had owned a house you would have had to sell it at that point.

I’ve had a pretty negative reaction to AI-produced music, too. But I will say that the following track caught my ear when it appeared on my YouTube video feed a few days ago:

“Nirvana Tribute ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ Girl Group 1960’s Tribute”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwSeVM1g9hs

At first I thought it was a real singer, but then I remembered how convincing the lastest text-to-music services are becoming.

You can run DDL commands directly on ClickHouse, but after you have a lot of these commands in your codebase, it becomes a pain to manage them. We had these commands defined in a lot of ruby files named <timestamp>_create_table.rb using which we mimicked the way rails and active record manage the app database migrations. Rails and active record also give you a schema.rb which shows the latest state of the app database at all times. After having no schema.rb for a long time, and it becoming a pain to manage the standalone migration files in ruby, we decided to build this to be able to manage migrations for ClickHouse, our analytics database. We love using it and the schema.sql file (with the latest db state) it generates at the end.
Apologies, I’m not trying to be that pedantic person on the internet. Thank you for the thoughtful response.
As an American I can see your points, but then as a European you’re making some wild leaps of logic there.

Not all urban environments always provide the learning that’s best for you. Some communities which “don’t favor intellectual pursuits” end up actually being far more intellectual than the most ambitious elite city-dwelling ones.

Most childhoods end up idyllic. All configurations humans put themselves into exist.

Though I will say that I am lucky to say that I did come back to folks who really do value intellectual pursuits, though it did take some time for me to take notice. The urban environment though, not so sure about that anymore, lots of noise and distraction.

PvP games can get pretty difficult. You need to remember the map, make a strategy, know which moves and counter moves exist, also make timing-precise input (e.g. active parry frames are 6 out of 30) and not forget to compensate for network latency you have judge by the vibes.

I think disabling the firmware in circumstances that are clearly defined but not disclosed to the customer is very much outside existing IEEE ethical rules.

Did they test Wheat. I'm convinced something is up with the Wheat here. I've not seen Europeans gain anywhere near as much weight from eating bread as people do here. From my experience visiting Paris, croissants, butter and pastries pretty common on the menu. But still people are still pretty skinny in comparison. And like Pasta in Italy is a staple. Yet still, lower BMI there.

There's two big differences:

1) clarity of law without local community process that overrides what the law says you can build,

2) extra capacity to actual build. Almost 100% of land is "built out" according to zoning, meaning that almost no land allows building anything more than already exists. In fact this downzoning was so intense that many many buildings would never be allowed to rebuilt, including iconic buildings.

We have literally outlawed cities in the US, due to the wishes of people that want suburban automotive lifestyle to replace city life.
I can appreciate that being a bit of an obnoxious person myself.
I kind of envy Germany's large array of possible corporate charters for non-profits, for-profits and kinda-sorta-nonprofits. I wish America had the same menu to pick fro.

i frankly do not understand how Apple pays as much as it does - both Spotify and AM pay 70% of revenue to artists, so it might just be that there are far fewer streams on Apple. (plus Apple is a premium only service)

On an AM family plan, if they are really paying out 0.01 per stream... then anyone streaming more than 19 songs/day is a money loser for apple.
When you make ad-hominem attacks from a position of moral authority, you actually give Russia fewer reasons to care. There is a reason that nobody talks about politics in the way that you are right now, and that is because it is racist and counterproductive. Most rational people capable of feeling empathy do not dehumanize other humans.

Repeating slurs only gives Putin what he wants - an international voice that demonizes the Russian people instead of their leadership. Go read up on the fall of the Soviet Union and I guarantee you won't have the stomach to say such an irresponsible thing ever again.
Any reasons given?

Always sad to see projects like this go. This was probably the best alternative to GrapheneOS for non-Pixel devices.
I was a kid in Virginia in the 80-90s and never got to do any of this stuff, but I was on irc and I saw people all over california and in college doing lan parties. Made me so jealous. My friends didn't have the internet until the 2000s and they used it for research and AIM.

It's crazy how regionally the internet spread across the USA absolutely massed from California.

I use Spotify to listen to Louis Cole and his contemporaries only at this point. And children's music for my son. Spotify was lovely in 2014-2015 when it made it truly was to discover new musicians. Now it's barf. Once my son is more grown, I'll be done with it.

It's true. My mother has been obese for most of her life but isn't even pre-diabetic. Her diet would scare people on HN.
Agreed, as the US is set up now, no way.

But, throw it out there... as the fifty-first state, no.

But, ten provinces, and three territories. More land area than the US.

So, the next thirteen states... and twothirdish of them will probably vote Democrat.

Hey Donelonables, be careful what you wish for.

It probably helps that Apple isn't carving out $250 million of their subscription revenue just for Joe Rogan.
This reporting feels a bit superficial, especially given the exciting direction Alzheimer’s research is taking.

It might sound unconventional, but what if taxi drivers, through constant exposure to small amounts of pathogens from travelers worldwide, experience enough immune imprinting to help prevent diseases like Alzheimer’s?

There’s an intriguing study suggesting that one type of Alzheimer’s might be linked to a chronic gut infection that eventually makes its way to the brain.

We are likely on the verge of a scientific revolution that will redefine viruses as key drivers behind some of the most devastating diseases known to humanity.
As I was reading your comment I was thinking “this feels just like the time of Silicon Graphics and SUN”. Glad I got to experience that time in the valley, even though I started to feel the influx of people who were just there for the money, not the passion, starting around 2002/2003.
If this is new, then you're one of today's luck 10,000![2] Serious logical foundations take a lot of time and exposition to start from fundamentals. Dismissing them as non-serious because GP's argument failed to consider them is misguided, IMHO.

I'm so glad I got to live through the late 90s in my teens. It was truly a magical time with the advent of the modern internet. Looking at these pictures brings back some of that feeling and really reminds me of what a different place the internet and technology was back then. I still remember pulling up my first website with Netscape Navigator and a 14.4K dialup modem, the images rolling in bit by bit at what would be considered a truly glacial pace today. The realization that this digital canvas was mostly untouched and any of us could claim our own territory and make it into whatever we wanted. Just thinking of it makes me want to fire up the IDE and build something.
Making true, lifelong friends is like planting seeds. People you meet and stay in touch with for the next 20 years will undoubtedly by wonderful friends in time, but people you meet today will not be the same as people you have known for 20 years. Living next to someone I have known for the majority of my life(assuming we are still very close) is very different than living next to someone I have known for 6 months. I understand the idea is that you still live near friends but it is just not the same.
Default Opted Out

Opt In should NOT be required to enable features.

Features should not be rented, and should be delivered as purchased with the car. Shipped but disabled features that take up additional vehicle weight (relative to lacking the feature) should not be allowed. (This phrasing is precise, to allow for silicon and software enhancements which are not a material change to vehicle manufacturing / design.)

Setup processes should always empower the user. If there are multiple choices or paths a default may be indicated, but alternatives MUST NOT be in other locations, and MUST be displayed with equal prominence in a logically adjacent section of the dialog.

Example from a website: 'Paperless' should not be force enabled by default; the ability to have paper or paperless billing should be radio boxes next to each other. Additional benefits (E.G. higher account interest rates) should not be tied to either selection.

It's really annoying that they only test one brand (Boba Guys), it's unclear wether other producers have better quality products.
I've been in some very steep mountain valleys :-)

But as others have noted: assuming satellite cellular access is also a big leap. I once had someone check my papers by taking my passport, writing a copy of the entry visa number on it (itself hand-written), and then finding me hours later after they were able to find a landline to call the border service with.
The real danger with AI is that it saturates the market/lowers the profitability for real artists/authors/whatever until it's no longer possible to make a career of being one of those things at which point things collapse and suddenly almost no actual humans are writing novels.
Bandcamp seems to have survived changing ownership and is still a good service. More specialized e-tailers like boomkat and bleep are also good for some genres.
Interesting, we didn't run into the need for blocking and async migrations for our use case, because we do incremental updates to our clickhouse schema. What do you mean by needing to change the ordering of existing tables? I'll check out the background migrations link tomorrow!
That doesn't make this any less strange. For one thing _three_ Pantsir hits would definitely have downed the plane. If the plane was not shot at during the first two approaches, why would it be shot at during the third? It would be visible on the radar the entire time, well in advance, since before landing it flies much higher than the drones, and does not try to evade radar detection. Additionally, since it was approaching to land, it was most definitely in constant communication with Grozny ATC and they knew about it. This could also be similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_232 someone posted below, except the engine would be under the wing rather than in the tail. Another possibility is a drone was shot down in close proximity and they were hit with residual shrapnel from that. That does seem unlikely, but not more so than a passenger plane withstanding three consecutive AD hits and then flying for over an hour.
the needed infrastructure can be just at the passport checkpoints

AST Spacemobile and Starlink's user experience will just require mobile phones. No adapters or base station. they'll find a way to power them, or extend signal from them. for the passport holder, that will just be client side and no connectivity necessary.
